The Woman Gets Wings
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating scene from the Apocalypse of Angers tapestry series, created between 1375 and 1382 in Angers, France. This intricately designed tapestry, which is part of the International Gothic art movement, is the tenth scene from the series commissioned by Louis I, Duke of Anjou. The design for the tapestry is attributed to Jean de Bruges, a renowned artist of the late 14th century. In this scene, the woman, depicted in the center, is given wings by the Great Eagle to help her flee from the terrifying Dragon. The Woman's expression is one of fear and determination as she spreads her arms, allowing the eagle to attach the wings to her back. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the tapestry bring the biblical story to life, with the woman's flowing robes and the fierce, sharp claws of the dragon and eagle adding to the dynamic energy of the scene. The Apocalypse of Angers tapestry series was a significant artistic achievement of the 14th century, and this particular scene, "The Woman Gets Wings," is a powerful representation of the feminine and the divine. The use of horizontal composition adds to the sense of movement and action, making it a captivating work of art that continues to inspire and intrigue viewers to this day. This tapestry is a testament to the artistic and cultural significance of the Middle Ages in France, and serves as a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of the Pays de la Loire region in Maine-et-Loire. The intricate details and vivid colors of "The Woman Gets Wings" make it a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art and the Middle Ages.
